Thank you for taking the time to write a review about us, I do apologise for the time it has taken to respond but we don't use this website so have only just noticed it. I am sorry to hear that you felt let down by not being able to view the property in question, we were fortunate to achieve the guide price pre the property going onto the various web portals which meant there were sadly multiple buyers who missed out. We did suggest to the vendor to continue with viewings to see if we could exce ...

I would urge you to contact me as the MD of Bourne as a matter of urgency. My contact number is 01372 468636, we take all complaints seriously especially of this nature. I can assure you that NONE of my staff are racist and would suggest that your refer this matter to the police immediately. We are unable to intervene in neighbour disputes or legal matters and when evidence is provided we will always offer support and advice and direct to the authorities to assist. I am keen to know what you wou ...

Thank you for your comment on our All Agents review page, it's disappointing to hear that you haven't received the care and attention you would expected from our services, for which we apologise profusely. I am sure there are many reasons as to why, however, Bourne take all reviews constructively and professionally and will always endeavour to better ourselves based on experiences from customers and clients. We would appreciate the opportunity to rectify this and I would appreciate the time ...

Bourne had the lowest of the fees being charged by Estate Agents in the area although I did find them to be very high especially when they do a minimal of paper work and I had to chase to be sent the inventory and a copy of the signed agreement. The company that they use to carry out the inventory did not complete a very thorough documentation and I had to request several issues to be added.
